A living art

What you are seeing below is a massive home aquarium setup by Japanese enthusiastic aquarist. Just to give a sense of scale, click here to see how many people can fit inside the tank. What I like about this tank setup, apart from its obvious huge size, it is how lives under the water and above the water live in harmony, adding to that is the location of the tank, the juxtaposition of what is a recreation of nature that housed inside a man-made structure (ie. house) with the true natural landscape outside. This is one unforgettable find, and it is an art piece in a way, a living art piece should I say.
